Gem on the Seaside


I took a short weekend trip to Damman, Dhahran and Al-Khobar, which are on the Arabian Gulf and saw this beautiful mosque right after the noon prayers. The white of the exterior against the blue water looked so nice. I just had to photograph it for future memories.

I am always very careful when taking photos around people because of the high degree of emphasis placed on privacy and security here, however there was absolutely no one around.

I enjoy admiring the buildings over here including everything from homes to skyscrapers. The homes usually have a six foot high privacy fence around them with a court yard inside. The gates to the fences are especially interesting. They normally have varying degrees of welded designs. Some very fancy and other somewhat plain, but nonetheless pleasing to look at.
